About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

"Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself."
CHARLIE CHAPLIN
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.
David Whyte
This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts.

Prompt: Happy World Smile Day! Share a list of ten things that make you smile.
---
Here are 10 things, the first five happen almost always and because of them, almost all my photos come out with a grin on my face.
The second five can happen but that is usually a rarity.
In Wdc:
1. When I see a helpful and encouraging review on the Reviewing Page.
2. When I come across an informative and/or uplifting post anywhere
3. When I find out a member does something nice for another WdC member or members
4. When SM comes up with an innovative, fun, and helpful programming addition to the site
In Real Life:
5. When I find out people I know and care about are well and happy.
6. When I do everything well on a list I have written or even finish doing whatever is on the list.
7. When I don’t forget to finish one chore before starting another one
8. When I can come up with an innovative idea for a writing project and find out that it may just work
9. When I don’t feel tired in the middle of the day with still things to be done waiting for me.
10. When the politicians and others act like human beings instead of savage beasts in the jungle, not to insult the savage beasts, btw.
